Wizards' Kyshawn George: Back in starting five Friday
George will enter the starting lineup in Friday's preseason finale against the Knicks.
With Corey Kispert (back) and Bilal Coulibaly (finger) ruled out, George will return to the starting lineup. The 20-year-old will likely struggle to find significant playing time unless injuries arise in the regular season, though if the team struggles it would not be shocking to see the rookie receive an uptick in minutes.

Wizards' Kyshawn George: Back in bench role
George isn't starting Monday's preseason game against the Nets.
George drew a spot start Friday and put together an efficient line, but he'll shift back to a bench role with Washington testing out a new starting lineup. George should still see a healthy workload off the bench during Monday's exhibition.

Wizards' Kyshawn George: Enters starting five vs. Raptors
George will start in Friday's preseason game versus the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
The 24th pick of the 2024 Draft impressed in Wednesday's outing versus the Knicks, during which he scored 14 points and racked up three blocks while shooting 5-for-6 from the field. George will slot into the small forward position, with Kyle Kuzma sliding to the four and Alex Sarr starting over Jonas Valanciunas at center.

Wizards' Kyshawn George: Strong two-way production in loss
George finished with 14 points (5-6 FG, 2-2 3PT, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three blocks, one assist and one steal in 21 minutes during Wednesday's preseason loss to New York.
George was impressive on both ends of the floor, dropping a team-high 14 points to go with four defensive stats. Taken with the 24th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, George is an intriguing, yet largely unproven prospect. While this was an encouraging performance, it's hard to envision him seeing enough minutes to warrant fantasy attention, at least to begin the season.

Wizards' Kyshawn George: Selected by Wizards at No. 24
George was selected by the Wizards with the No. 24 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.
The Knicks (via Dallas) initially owned the pick before the Wizards offered up the No. 26 pick and the No. 51 pick in order to move up two spots, per Shams Charania of The Athletic. George averaged 7.6 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game as a freshman at Miami last season and was somewhat of a surprising one-and-done player. At 6-7 with a 6-10 wingspan, George has intriguing size and length, and he hit better than 40 percent of his catch-and-shoot threes last season. With that said, he's ultimately a project player at this stage, so Washington is a decent landing spot.
